<p>&quot;And of course &ldquo;hate speech&rdquo; is very loosely defined here, so it can basically be used to censor free speech online. We all know what the phrase &ldquo;fake news&rdquo; has come to denote &mdash; and nearly the entire alternative media is encompassed within it. It should be no surprise that the same &ldquo;fake news&rdquo; the EU wants to censor has been blamed for Brexit and the potential for other countries like Italy deciding to leave the EU as well.&quot;</p>

<p>"The judge presiding over the case of Walter Scott, who in April 2015 was shot in the back by former South Carolina police officer Michael Slager, was forced to declare a mistrial on Monday after the jury announced that they were unable to come “to a unanimous decision.” “The court therefore must declare a mistrial in this case and I so declare that is case is mistried,” Circuit Judge Clifton Newman declared after the jury announced the deadlock. The news comes after a single holdout juror sent a letter to Newman on Friday saying that he “cannot in good conscience consider a guilty verdict.”"</p>

<p>"The FBI has gained access to Twitter-linked analytics tool Dataminr, citing the use of Twitter by terrorist organizations.

<p>Yet with each new investigation and judicial inquiry, and as more evidence is unearthed, Snowden&rsquo;s core claims are increasingly vindicated.

<p>Column by Lawrence M. Ludlow.</p>
<p><strong>Exclusive to STR</strong></p>
<p>By referencing Prince&rsquo;s song, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTJzs8iJVOc">Pussy Control</a>, I intentionally draw a link between politics and the intentional trespass of bodily boundaries. And it really does boil down to bodily integrity and respecting boundaries when you closely examine the concept of human rights &ndash; something the political process is designed to destroy.</p>
<p>On one hand, liberal Democrats claim to be all about women having &ldquo;<a href="http://www.prochoiceamerica.org/what-is-choice/abortion/">choice</a>,&rdquo; but we are not supposed to notice that they restrict this precious choice to only one organ of the human body &ndash; and it&rsquo;s not the brain. This is a good indication of how much liberals <em>really</em> respect women as thinkers and doers and producers and precisely <a href="http://www.healthline.com/human-body-maps/uterus">what</a> they value most about them.</p>
<p>And Republicans are no better. They, too, want control of you. But like the Democrats, they are dishonest about it. They sometimes claim they want to protect the unborn, but once the human soul is firmly planted inside of a free-moving human body, they will tax, regulate, and dictate just as much as the Democrats. That&rsquo;s the meaning of paying taxes to support war, the insane war on drugs, boondoggle spending, the expensive halftime entertainments that honor the military at football games, and subsidies to a multitude of other spending and regulatory programs, just for starters.</p>
<p><strong>What Is a Human Boundary?</strong></p>
<p>As I learned by <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Boundaries-Order-Private-Property-Social/dp/1479207756">reading</a> the thought-provoking <a href="https://mises.org/library/wizards-ozymandias">books</a> of <a href="http://www.swlaw.edu/faculty/faculty_listing/facultybio/70115">Butler Shaffer</a>, professor emeritus of Southwestern Law School, a clear understanding and respect for well-drawn <a href="https://liberty.me/live/boundaries-of-order-private-property-as-a-social-system-with-butler-shaffer/">boundaries</a> between people is absolutely necessary for the peaceful and beneficial functioning of society. But politics is not about respecting boundaries or human beings at all. It is about controlling them by force. It is about using violence or the threat of violence to compel obedience. And when you rip away the euphemisms that were programmed into our brains from an early age in the mandatory monopoly government schools, that&rsquo;s what it&rsquo;s all about: compulsory obedience.</p>
<p>In other words, even if they seem to say that you are in control of your body, you aren&rsquo;t. And the government takes ownership of everything valuable that you produce &ndash; commandeering the one non-renewable commodity of the human condition: our time. Because governments steal between one-third and one-half of what we produce when we are awake, they commit, in essence, murder on the installment plan, <a href="http://www.strike-the-root.com/taxation-murder-on-installment-plan">which I previously explained in depth</a>. Once you realize that governments take about 25% of the product of your conscious hours each day, the magnitude of the crime becomes clear. If you would have lived to be 80 years old, for example, the government has stolen roughly 20 years of your life. Now if politicians and their zealous supporters took nothing from you until you reached the age of 60 and then executed you and then liquidated your possessions, people would rise up against the barbarism. Fearing this, governments <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea0Alh_K-ow">do it the smart way</a>. They create myths and turn countries into <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbp6umQT58A">human farms</a>, where the cow-like people are forced to surrender a proportion of their life product to be spent against their wishes in ways that create further harm, which in turn creates the need for additional government programs to fix what the spinoff damage caused by the first government program. The point is that governments do not allow you to &ldquo;own yourself.&rdquo; They deny your right to control your body, to make decisions over your own life.</p>
<p><strong>Why We Don&rsquo;t Think Outside the (Ballot) Box</strong></p>
<p>But politicians make sure you never draw a connection between what they do and control of your body. They distract you and give new, less obvious names to these proofs of ownership. They call them income taxes, sales taxes, school taxes, etc. They claim it&rsquo;s for your own good, but this is a distraction. Even a thief in a back alley doesn&rsquo;t try to bamboozle you in such a shameless fashion. When they put the gun to your head, they are honest about the nature of their act. They admit they are raiding your wallet and ultimately raiding your life. But at least they don&rsquo;t add insult to injury by claiming to &ldquo;do good&rdquo; by it or by claiming that they wish to &ldquo;help&rdquo; you or someone else. They don&rsquo;t sink that low. Politicians do. The great abolitionist, Lysander Spooner, explored this in <a href="https://www.lewrockwell.com/1970/01/lysander-spooner/no-treason-the-constitution-of-no-authority/">great detail</a>.</p>
<p>Indeed politicians, through their <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_conditioning">Pavlovian</a> monopoly <a href="http://www.fff.org/explore-freedom/article/staterun-schools-caesaropapism/">government schools</a>, have inculcated a set of myths, excuses, and lies that are triggered whenever <a href="https://mises.org/library/why-i-am-anarcho-capitalist">anarcho-capitalists</a> and <a href="https://mises.org/library/new-liberty-libertarian-manifesto">libertarians</a> challenge their notions about who really owns you. As a result, the <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=booboisie">booboisie</a> instinctively comes to the defense of the government in true <a href="http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Stockholm+syndrome">Stockholm-syndrome</a> fashion. The slave defends his master: &ldquo;But how would we build the roads, the schools, or X?&rdquo; But the slave never excuses the back-alley thief on the same grounds, and after all, thieves have their own equally useful plans for your money. Don&rsquo;t they? And when back-alley thieves take a quick poll among their members to gain agreement about targeting you for their crime, do they act any differently than people engaging in the democratic process of voting? Is the nature of the act really any different? Of course not. One definition of the voting process is &ldquo;two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.&rdquo; But we&rsquo;re not supposed to think that way, are we? The public monopoly schools have ensured that we don&rsquo;t. Such thoughts are suppressed, forbidden, discouraged. The fact is that democratic government is patterned after back-alley theft and &ndash; if you are disobedient and resist the act of being robbed by the state &ndash; outright murder. Perhaps the two events that defined democracy and voting best were the execution of Socrates in ancient Athens and the elections that led to Hitler&rsquo;s control of Germany. <em>Vox populi, vox dei</em> anyone?</p>
<p>Government is a monopoly, and its entire <em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modus_operandi">modus operandi</a> </em>is based on violating your human right to your own body and to everything that you produce with your body. That&rsquo;s why Democrats and Republicans oppose genuine human rights and substitute the bargain-basement versions of civil rights and rights to x, y, and z (usually a commodity, a job, or a service provided by another slave). They distract the easily confused populace into accepting a bunch of <em>faux</em> rights -- everything <em>but</em> the genuine right to your own life and what you rightfully produce with your body.</p>
<p><strong>Fake Rights, Genuine Rights, and Trump</strong></p>
<p>So what does this have to do with Pussy Control and the now-deceased <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_(musician)">artist formerly called Prince</a>? Well, if they are correct in their hyperbolized allegations (a big &ldquo;<em>if</em>&rdquo; considering the alacrity with which Democrats are willing to invent and lie during elections), Donald Trump has a habit of violating personal boundaries &ndash; in his case <a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/10/07/donald_trump_2005_tape_i_grab_women_by_the_pussy.html">the crotch area</a> of women. But if the Democrats are so outraged by this, why aren&rsquo;t they consistent about their rage? They complain about Trump&rsquo;s alleged misogyny, but they are strangely silent when their candidate is guilty of the same thing. <a href="http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2016/05/24/kosovo-hillary-clintons-legacy-terror/">Hillary encouraged her husband</a> (as president) to engage in the murderous Kosovo War, which was based upon a lie. She also supported the horrible lie-and-murder-fest that was launched <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/hardball/watch/clinton-defends-her-iraq-war-vote-644430403940">against Iraq</a>, not to mention those against <a href="http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/05/03/hillary-clintons-foreign-policy-resume-what-the-record-shows/">Afghanistan</a>, and <a href="http://foreignpolicy.com/2016/04/14/hillary-clinton-has-no-regrets-about-libya/">Libya</a>, and <a href="http://foreignpolicy.com/2016/07/27/hillary-the-hawk-a-history-clinton-2016-military-intervention-libya-iraq-syria/">Syria</a>, not to mention <a href="http://observer.com/2016/08/hillary-clinton-likely-to-increase-weapons-exports-to-saudi-arabia/">Yemen</a>. What about the tens of thousands of women killed in those wars? Don&rsquo;t those women count as victims of mass-misogyny? If you asked every female victim of Hillary&rsquo;s long list of war crimes if they would rather be alive and have Donald Trump grab their pussy or if they would rather increase the height of the mountain of corpses that Hillary Clinton helped build with Obama and the Bush family for their friends in the military-industrial-congressional complex, I&rsquo;ll bet they would rather be Trumped than dumped by Hillary and her death-squad neocons of Marxian origin (look up <a href="http://www.antiwar.com/justin/j052303.html">Leo Strauss</a>).</p>
<p>Lets not forget that Hillary (along with her nameless <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/clinton-on-qaddafi-we-came-we-saw-he-died/">female interviewer</a> from CBS) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fgcd1ghag5Y">chortled like a maniac</a> in a nut-house straightjacket when asked about the <a href="http://hotair.com/headlines/archives/2016/02/04/qaddafi-begs-for-his-life-before-execution-in-newly-released-video/">murder and anal-rape-by-bayonet</a> of Muammar Gaddafi under the regime of <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/sep/16/nobel-panel-saw-obama-peace-prize-mistake-new-book/">Nobel-Peace-Prize-winning President Obama</a>, who also claimed that his is &ldquo;<a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/283335-obama-this-is-the-most-transparent-administration-in-history">the most transparent administration ever</a>&rdquo; (a claim that Bradley/Chelsea Manning, Julian Assange, Jeffrey Sterling, and Edward Snowden, among many others, would contest). Before we all choke over the &ldquo;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie">big lie</a>&rdquo; buried in these statements, remember this: when politicians steal from you in the form of taxes, dictate what you can or cannot ingest, dictate the terms of your employment, and everything else they control, they are violating your personal boundaries and &ndash; ultimately &ndash; are violating your bodily integrity. Taxation is murder on the installment plan, and it is certainly slavery. Politicians and other &ldquo;legitimate authorities&rdquo; regularly violate your boundaries. And if you are a woman and accept all of these as legitimate, you have surrendered your Pussy Control to all of them. So why complain when Donald does it?</p>
